Aylon Cohen is combating his way to the end of his BA in Political Science at the University of British Columbia. He is always glad to have the opportunity to step outside of the cold academic ivory tower and engage with the Downtown Eastside community. He is particularly keen on the The Poverty Olympics, as he believes that the best form of protest occurs in a ‘space’ of satire.

Many thanks to all of our fearless Torchbearers and community organizers who made this journey possible!  Here’s to ending poverty in BC!
